If anyone has the time to dedicate to packaging the latest version of Fluxbox I would appreciate it. There is a serious problem with the current package: it puts all in /usr/X11R6/ but startfluxbox wants stuff in /usr/local. Also the EN (English) files are missing in the present package.

I have tried to build fluxbox myself but had all sorts of trouble, so perhaps the more experienced packagers could try? Thanks....

I don't think a custom VL Fluxbox theme is necessary unless someone is up to the task (I don't hav ethe time at the moment). I believe the standard fluxbox source comes with a choice of about 12 themes anyways. What would be great to have though - is a custom Fluxbox menu. But that is a lot of work. And since folks might be using it on Standard or SOHO we would really need two distinct menus. I already have worked on a Fluxbox menu for SOHO 5.1 - I could fix that and also redo one for Standard and maybe just upload them somewhere where folks can download them if needed. To pre-package them might not work as we won't know if it is installed under Standard or SOHO.

Maybe we just had a /etc/skel/.fluxbox directory already set up in the distro so any creation of a new user would see the directory copied to /home/newuser ? That doesn't help a package for a distro that doesn't ahve one though!

I finally have a working package that also generates separate menus for Standard and SOHO.However, when using it in SOHO, the background does not set to full-screen despite using fbsetbg with the -f flag.
